When I dream, & hear you whisper
you trigger a memory of
those long days
laying wrapped & secure
a bubble dream bullet proof
vest.

When I remember, & watch you smile
you bring to me distinct
reminders of how I
am both the dumbest & smartest
woman I've ever
known.

When I wonder, & lose you inside
you clamber back to me
soundless movements I
toil & spin unheard
like lilies in the
valley.

When I sleep, & a slumber falls
upon my weary soul
gentle angels by my bed
who rock & sing a
lullaby of love which I
concede.

You see, I need you now.
I need you more
than I shall ever let
you know.

I've ceased fighting
fixing what was
all at once broken
that night
a lunar
eclipsed our hearts.
